When MSC Seaside debuts late next year, it will be with a new specialty restaurant thanks to a new partnership with Japanese-American celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi will create a pan-Asian specialty restaurant for MSC where he will create not only the menu and the wine list, but control virtually every aspect. He’ll have a hand in the design of everything from the decor to the selection of the china to compliment the food, and selection of the paper for the menu. This will be his restaurant.

Norwegian Raises the Bar with Harvest Caye
In January, when Norwegian Cruise Line announced a nine-month delay in the opening of their private-island resort in Belize, Harvest Caye, they were rather hazy about the reason, just indicating something about “highest quality amenities and services.” If the reality of the resort lives up to the picture they are now painting, it’s going be worth the wait, and they will have set a new standard for “private islands.”
Yesterday, NCL began to detail what to expect on the island, and there's a lot in store for Norwegian's passengers.

Barbeque to Go
Thanks to the success of Guy’s Burger Joint on eleven of the ships across the Carnival fleet (they each serve about 1,000 burgers a day), the line has partnered with Guy Fieri on a second casual restaurant that looks like it’s going to be another hit with Carnival passengers.
This one is a barbeque smokehouse aboard Carnival Magic, called the Pig & Anchor. Pork, chicken, beef, sausage - and Guy’s own special sides.
